1. The only real bit in need of research is this: With a 6 degree increase in global temperature, which we are fast heading towards, the planet will almost no longer be able to sustain human life. The O-zone layer will simply not protect humans anymore against UV light. People won’t have to worry about skin cancer because they won’t have any skin to get cancer of. This kind of change will prompt radical and terrifying changes in meteorological patterns, causing giant “super-storms” of which the likes of Hurricane Katrina were only a warm up, and that the film The Day After Tomorrow so accurately represented. The planet will then effectively begin to fight back; fissures in the earth bordering the tectonic plates that create the crust of the earths surface will begin to shift uncontrollably and massive fireballs the size of cities will be vented through these seems out of the wildly unstable core and mantle of the planet. Anyone still alive after this will be subject to a nuclear fallout approximately 1 billion times that of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as the Earth begins to vent any leftover radiation and effectively, as a planet, dies. 2. As you said yourself, youre young, you have no major responsabilities right now, and are determined to have a f*cking good time this summer. you've passed your first year, so have nothing to worry about till october the first. You have no job, and only have 3 free weekends between now and october. You seem to be focused on having fun, and enjoying yourself, which is the way to be really. KarsonLevoret should feel this way too. I really dont want to sound like a willy, but nothing in this whole rant will really affect anyone we know. I say have fun and enjoy life as it is.
